Serving as the final chapter in a trilogy - following Sparkle (2022) and Greyscale (2024) - Canvas sees the band refining their fusion of breakneck punk energy, technical musicianship, and post-hardcore flair. We caught up with vocalist Tom West and guitarist/vocalist Rob Piper over email to talk about the new record and what lies ahead for DARKO.
